The 27-year-old actor opened up to the mag about moving to L.A. and becoming an actor, as well as his latest film role. Check it:

On his character in The Canyons: “I was lucky that I started working at a younger age. By the time I did this project, I’d been lucky enough to be on Broadway and man different projects. But I definitely know what it’s like to come to L.A. with a dream and struggle and be dealing with shady people with ulterior motives.”

On his years as a struggling actor: “Obviously you know what it’s like to come out to L.A. I mean, my first years out here I took the bus to all my castings. You know, I was so driven. At that point I just had so much energy that I could commute like, six hours all across town for all these different meetings.”
